Rest is all well and good, but with a struggling offense, resting your best player isn't the most intelligent decision. And then not pinch-hitting him for Juan Pierre in the 7th with 2 men on when you're down by two? Doubly stupid. Yeah, he pinch-hit later in the inning with two men on, but putting him in for Pierre would have given Kemp a second at-bat in the 9th inning. More Bison is always a good thing.
